Dr Jessica Reeves studies the assemblages and shell chemistry of aquatic invertebrates such as ostracods, foraminifera and molluscs to interpret environmental change, and investigate the interplay between humans and their environment. Dr Reeves is currently a Lecturer at the Federation University, with research areas covering coastal wetlands, salt lakes, groundwater ecology and long-term climate and environmental change. Dr Reeves was selected as a participant on the inaugural Homeward Bound voyage to Antarctica, an international leadership, strategic and science initiative for women in science.
